Morata close to Barcelona! Juventus striker could be the third ever to play for all 3 Spanish giants
This would be a pretty juicy transfer. Real Madrid’s Álvaro Morata is very close to a move to Barcelona. But he will not lose any sympathy at the Santiago Bernabéu, because he no longer has any with Los Blancos fans. He burned all his bridges by leaving Atlético Madrid, a move to Barcelona would be just the nail in the coffin.

But he will not lose any sympathy at the Santiago Bernabéu, because he no longer has any with Los Blancos fans. He burned all his bridges by leaving Atlético Madrid, a move to Barcelona would be just the nail in the coffin.
A very unconventional trio of clubs the Spanish striker may have in his portfolio. Only two players have ever managed to wear the jerseys of Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, Bern Schuster and Miguel Soler.
Now Morata may also join this club of defectors. For Real Madrid fans, it is unthinkable for a player of the club to go to Barcelona or Atlético Madrid, two arch rivals, or even both. It is made worse by the fact that Morata is a product of the White Ballet, then the subsequent betrayal is doubly regrettable.
the 29-year-old striker is thus an absolutely hated player at the Santiago Bernabéu at the moment. He doesn’t help himself much with his post-transfer talk, stating at every club that it was his dream to play there from a young age, Atlético not excluded.
Anyway, his move to Barcelona is supposed to be imminent. According to Diario AS journalist Javi Miguel, the transfer is almost complete and all that remains is to fine-tune the last details.
However, the question is whether Barcelona can afford it. At the moment, it still can’t register the fresh reinforcement of Ferran Torres as he doesn’t fit the salary cap. Morata’s big salary would be an additional burden.
